Frequently asked questions
What does the card cost each month?+
The monthly fee is CZK 0, so holding the card costs nothing to keep. That is the full recurring price stated for the card, and it puts the account at the top of the monthly fee ranking, where 379 brands are compared. The overall score on the site is 6.
Is it a debit card or a prepaid card?+
Card type is debit, so the card draws directly on the money in your bank account rather than on a prepaid balance you top up. Debit cards are the most common card type in this site's rankings, at 73.4% of the mix, with prepaid cards making up 21.2%.
How does the monthly fee compare with other card providers?+
It does not. Monzo Flex, Wise and Bitpanda list monthly fees of £0, £0 and €0, so a free month is the norm across these cards rather than an advantage. The thing to weigh is what the card does with your money, not what it charges to keep.
Can I use the card to spend crypto?+
Card type is debit, so it is a bank account card for everyday spending. Token balances, coin lists and conversion rates belong to the crypto cards in this ranking, such as Bitpanda, while the fee detail here is the monthly fee of CZK 0.
Where does the card stand on cost?+
Cost scores 6 on the site, alongside an overall score of 6. On monthly fee alone the card sits at position 1 among 379 brands compared, which makes cost the part of the profile doing the most work.
What other costs should I watch?+
The monthly fee of CZK 0 is only part of the running cost. Across the site, the median currency conversion fee runs 1% and the median free ATM withdrawal allowance is €0, so cardholders who take out cash or spend abroad can pay more than the monthly charge suggests.
